Coach Talk

The Overkiller's
Nice job deploying a lineup that won by over 19 points this past week. We did what we needed to do and took care of business. Let's maintain this momentum as we move on to what's sure to be an exceedingly formidable Week 2 matchup.
LIONPWR
Trust us, LIONPWR... We've been in this business for a long time now. Obstacles pop up, you suffer some defeats, your fans get a little whiny, and the local beat writers turn nit-picky with distasteful interview questions. All part of living that coach life. Just remember that in the world of fantasy football, winning is the easiest way to silence all the critics out there!
